When looking through the selected HDR images, they all shared similar strength in their high contrast, and great focus. This one in particular though, really stood out to me. I was first drawn into the beautiful buildings in the foreground. They are all grey with pops of red and oranges which makes them stand out. Into the background, the rays of sun coming through the clouds and into the sky also caught my eye. I also like that you can see the sun as a pop of orange in the grey clouds. Overall this photo was very well composed and is very strong.
